Meeting the challenge of transforming commercial buildings into havens of respect, warmth and energy can never be underestimated, this year Crisis is engaging a team of young homeless people to create somewhere they would like to spend Christmas.

Staying alive

My name is Tesfaye, im 22 years old. I became homeless because my family wanted to move to France, I wanted to stay in London and as there was no one to look after me I started to live on my own on the streets. Being homeless makes it very difficult to stay alive, at the moment its very cold and I keep on getting in to trouble with the police.

I got involved with the Crisis project to meet new friends and so I could possibly get a job in the future. If I get the chance I know I can change something.

The thing I like most about this project is the people who work with me they are very kind and the place is a very cool atmosphere I also like the way they help me.

I want to go back to college and finish my course in painting and decorating, I had to stop this because if housing problems. This project is going to give me work experience.
